How to Catch a Cat Killer

For nearly eight terrifying months, cat owners on the South coast were terrorized by an unknown killer, with much-loved pets turning up dead or terribly injured. This documentary tells the incredible story of how the Brighton cat community came together to catch the attacker and how sleuthing owners, devastated by the death of their cat, made a remarkable breakthrough by finding the first images of the killer. With extraordinary access to police interviews, the programme will reveal how Sussex Police detectives used cutting-edge DNA and animal forensic pathology to convict the killer, who was finally unmasked as security guard Steven Bouquet, who had served 17 years in the Navy. He never admitted the killings. The film will also look at the Croydon Cat Killer and how animal investigator Boudicca Rising is continuing the investigation despite the police closing the case.
